Summary:
|
Crossroads is seeking grant funding from Family and Children's Trust (FACT) in the amount of $80,000. This funding will support three personnel positions whose work serves our pregnant and parenting teen students and their children. The three staff members are Ana DeJesus, bilingual LCSW; Vivica Taylor, LCSW: and Feli Mercado, bilingual Family Resource Worker. Ana and Vivica will each work two days a week. They will also do follow ups by phone and paperwork on top of seeing students while at school. Both will be on an Independent Service Contract for $24,500 each. Feli will be at school 5 days a week. FACT will fund 30% of her FTE for $26,280. The indirect cost of $4,720 brings the total to $80,000.
Some of the measurable outcomes anticipated in our target population as a result of having these three people as part of our staff are:
...improved attendance of the parenting teen students at school
...increase the knowledge of parenting teen students and use of positive reinforcement to foster appropriate behavior expectations for their children
...improved attendance at school
...increase the knowledge of and resources for parenting teen students to make connections to community agencies/resources
...decrease in substance abuse and domestic violence in the homes of the parenting teen students and their children
...increase parenting teen student knowledge of whole child development
...increased staff member understanding of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) experienced by our parenting teen students. |
